Gun Safe, Hot Tub & Oversized Item Movers in Nashville TN
Some items require more than a standard moving crew. Gun safes that weigh 500–1,500 lbs. Hot tubs that require disconnection, draining, and special rigging equipment. Oversized furniture, arcade machines, pool tables, and industrial equipment that won’t fit through standard doorways. These are the moves that separate the professionals from everyone else.
Nashville Packers and Movers specializes in heavy, bulky, and specialty item moving across Nashville and all of Middle Tennessee. We have the equipment, the muscle, and the know-how to move the items that other companies turn away.
Gun Safe Movers Nashville TN
Gun safes are among the most challenging items to move in any home. A standard residential gun safe weighs anywhere from 300 to 1,500+ lbs, is awkwardly shaped, and must be moved without tipping — which can cause catastrophic structural damage to floors, walls, and doorframes, and serious injury to anyone in the way.
Why gun safe moving requires specialists:
- Most residential floors have weight limits — improper rolling can crack subflooring and tile
- Standard furniture dollies collapse under safe weight — we use heavy-duty appliance dollies rated for 1,500+ lbs
- Doorways often need to be measured carefully — some safes require door removal to pass through
- Stairs require specialized stair-climbing equipment and minimum 3-person crew
- Basement installations require rigging equipment and precise planning
What we do differently: We assess the safe’s weight, dimensions, current location, and destination before your move. We bring the right equipment every time — heavy-duty dollies, floor runners to protect your hardwood and tile, stair-climbing equipment, and a trained crew that knows exactly how to move heavy safes safely.
Hot Tub Movers Nashville TN
Hot tubs present a unique set of moving challenges. An average hot tub weighs between 500 and 900 lbs empty — and up to 6,000 lbs when full of water. They’re bulky, fragile on their acrylic shell surfaces, and often installed in backyards with limited access.
Hot tub moving requires careful planning:
- Draining: The hot tub must be completely drained before moving — we recommend starting 24 hours before the move
- Disconnection: Electrical connections must be properly disconnected by a licensed electrician before we arrive
- Access assessment: We evaluate the path from the hot tub’s current location to the truck — gates, fences, landscaping, and overhead clearance all matter
- Equipment: We use hot tub dollies, skids, and strapping systems specifically designed for spa moving
- Shell protection: Premium padding on every surface to prevent cracks and scratches to the acrylic shell
- Destination setup: We place the hot tub exactly where you want it at the new location
Important note: Reconnection at the new location must also be performed by a licensed electrician. We can recommend trusted Nashville-area electricians if needed.

⚠️ Why You Should NEVER DIY a Gun Safe or Hot Tub Move:
- A 1,000 lb gun safe tipping causes catastrophic injury — ER visits and fatalities have occurred from DIY safe moves
- Standard dollies rated for 600 lbs collapse under safe weight without warning
- Hot tubs dropped on acrylic shells crack and split — a $3,000–$15,000 replacement cost
- Dragging heavy items across hardwood floors causes thousands in floor damage
- Most homeowner insurance policies do NOT cover self-inflicted moving damage
